When I first got my Freestyle, I pointed it at a wall and turned it on. I was met with a bright green square and nothing else. After waiting for a few minutes to see if anything would happen, I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and I was finally greeted by the correct screen which guided me through the quick and easy setup process, and I was able to get to watching content within a couple of minutes. Kudos to Samsung for this, getting set up was a great experience. The controller is easy to navigate with and it all seems streamlined. The auto-keystone feature worked well too, meaning that wherever I pointed it, the image would align to show a perfectly straight-on rectangular picture. And what an picture! It's sharp, has decent contrast and is crystal clear - in ... MoreWhen I first got my Freestyle, I pointed it at a wall and turned it on. I was met with a bright green square and nothing else.

Kudos to Samsung for this, getting set up was a great experience. The controller is easy to navigate with and it all seems streamlined. The auto-keystone feature worked well too, meaning that wherever I pointed it, the image would align to show a perfectly straight-on rectangular picture. And what an picture! It's sharp, has decent contrast and is crystal clear - in dark rooms at least - this isn't the brightest projector and definitely not one which can be used with the lights on. My favorite thing about the image is that the colors REALLY pop, which makes watching oversaturated shows like cartoons or animated movies an absolute joy. The Freestyle is surprisingly light, with a gorgeous form factor which won't look out of place sitting out on full display (and even in the protective case it still manages to be portable.) It's easy to find a good display angle to work in most rooms, however I did have an issue where the stand couldn't support certain angles, and the freestyle would start to tilt over time, resulting in the projected image often moving away from where you want it. Another thing Samsung gets right is the audio quality. I'm no expert, but the sound quality from this thing is nothing short of impressive, with high peak volume and extremely clear tones across the board. The coolest thing about the Freestyle in my experience, however, is the SmartThings app. This app allows you to share content from your Android or iOS device directly to the Freestyle - I had a great time mirroring my iPad and playing games on the big screen on the first night I got it. That first night was an amazing experience, but unfortunately was the only night I could get it to work. Every time I've tried to start the Freestyle since, I get the same green square I got the first time I started it. I do wonder if I received a faulty unit by mistake, as the box arrived opened and the device was pre-scratched on the black part of the glass. This unfortunately did sour the review process a bit, but what I did get to experience prior was very good.

The moment I unboxed Freestyle, it was obvious that Samsung has a winner in their hands purely because of the simple reason, that this thing is almost the size of my coffee mug and as someone who has been toying with the idea of getting a small TV in the bedroom due to space, this was a liberated feeling. I instantly took it to my bedroom and set it up and voila, it was 100 inch amazing! Design & Connectivity: The exterior of the projector is covered with a soft rubber-like material that should offer protection against minor bumps and scratches. In terms of ports, it has a USB C for power, HDMI1.4 which supports eARC and at the top is the mic on off switch. There are three mics on the device to use with Bixby or Alexa and at the bottom is where the 360 degree ...

In terms of ports, it has a USB C for power, HDMI1.4 which supports eARC and at the top is the mic on off switch. There are three mics on the device to use with Bixby or Alexa and at the bottom is where the 360 degree speaker is and hidden behind the rubber flap is the socket to use as a table top projector. The front of the unit has a removable cap which also functions as a lamp and under it is the lens along with touch-sensitive controls for power and volume as well as a spot to tap for easily connecting smartphones. This device also supports Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 5 and airplay 2 which makes this a very versatile device. Apps, Picture & Sound: The lens has peak brightness of 550 lumens, pretty good for night time viewing and day time with curtains closed. Colours and clarity of the footage from the device is incredible considering the size and my initial worry of this just being a 1080p device were instantly quashed. The device comes with all major streaming apps like Prime video, Netflix, Apple TV, Disney etc. I tested the device with all of these and few of my 4k blu ray discs and came out feeling very good and am convinced that this can be my full time 'TV' in the bedroom. The sound quality from the device is pretty good and there is decent level of bass to satisfy most people even to use as a stand alone speaker for music. The added features under ambient mode makes this a very unique projector which can be used for various purposes including parties, wall art, calendar etc which makes this standout from competition. Gaming: As for gamers, I tested this with my Nintendo Switch, Laptop and PlayStation 5 and again came out feeling pretty impressed, till I tried it I didn't realise how fun it was to play on a 100inch screen especially multiplayer games like Mario Kart, I think this device can be a serious option for gamers because of its small footprint especially if you are struggling for space in your room for a big TV. I definitely see myself take this with me while travelling to have a standalone large screen anywhere I go and with the travel case, I won't have any worry about damaging it. Conclusion: In conclusion, it has everything I'm looking for from a standalone portable projector and with the added features like ambient mode and Samsung TV plus, there is just so much you can do on this compared to it closest competition. The compact size is a major plus as this can easily fit a small bedside table and when not being used as a projector could easily be a standalone speaker. Overall I'm thoroughly satisfied and would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a portable projector. For Unboxing and full review, I have posted a video on YouTube, link below: https://youtu.be/rSF8ymyFDOs

Having had the freestyle for just over a week now, we have used it a number of times with a mix of video types. Unboxing was fairly simple, minimal packaging but at the same time it felt secure and that it wouldn't have received damage on transit. Setting up the freestyle was easy and simple, the hardest bit was getting the remote to pair, but that might have been my own stupidity. Whenever you turn it on or move where it's pointing it will auto focus and keystone without asking. The majority of the time this is accurate and on point, occasionally it does require a little adjustment, but this is more when your projecting to a non flat surface. Ive used this projector at night for a film but also in a duim but not dark room whilst watching football, both of which ...

Ive used this projector at night for a film but also in a duim but not dark room whilst watching football, both of which work well. I've always been a fan of Samsung devices so this works well with the infrastructure I already have, being able. To use the apps built in or Using Smart View with apps not found on the projector. The speaker quality is good and definitely loud enough with the examples I've used it in, I can't wait to be able to use in summer in the garden for movies and sporting events. The mood lighting that comes with it isn't something I think I would use, seems a bit of a gimic but I will try it at some point. The operating system on it feels a little clunky, partly due to it not being android which I expected so it wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked, there still seems to be bits I need to learn. I guess this isn't necessarily Samsung fault, it's just not as easy to pick up. The menus and remote use seem a little laggy, although fairly straightforward. I need to learn the easy ways to get to adjustments etc. I'm not a sure it'd ever replace a TV and potentially that isn't what they're trying for anyway, and I've yet to try running it off of a battery pack to see how long it lasts. The other thing that I wanted to mention with the freestyle is the case for the projector that came with it is great for transporting it about, I just wish it had space for the remote and/or cables for its use as I find them getting chucked into a bag, with potentially for damage or loss. I'm not 100% the marketed price would get me to purchase it normally as I think it would then become a neccesity rather than a want, and I wouldn't say I needed a projector, but at a slightly cheaper price it's then a want and therefore, it's affordable.

I was so excited to receive this product, I really did have such high hopes. I love Samsung products and have pretty much a full house kitted out in it from Fridge Freezers to monitors, microwaves, TV's and mobile phones. So that should give you an insights into how much I wanted this product to be great. So let me just cover some of the bad points first: No integrated battery - so all of the use cases for this product for me were about portability, but without my additional battery pack it just didn't work. It feels like this should have been included. Brightness - when you use it anywhere other than a darkened room, it just wasn't bright enough for me.

It feels like this should have been included. Brightness - when you use it anywhere other than a darkened room, it just wasn't bright enough for me. So I even bought a mobile projection screen to trial it outside, but I had to wait until it was so dark before I could truly enjoy it. Now don't get me wrong, with the fire on and the darkness settling in, it was a great experience but it would have been nicer to do it in the daytime. Auto adjustment: OK so this was a good and bad point. It really depended on the surface type, but I honestly found that going into the settings and manually tweaking the focus would allow me to get a clearer picture. However the convenience of the device doing it, was neat for a quick plug and play approach. Price: this is possibly one of the biggest negatives for me. The price feels excessive, lets be honest nobody "needs" this device, its a luxury item so I get it is expensive, but you could have bought a decent 50" TV, a mini projector and a decent power bank for roughly the same. So I would really struggle to justify the RRP without everything being perfect. OK now onto the good points: Portability: so if you do have a power bank that's capable of delivering the PD required 65w (which I do) it's really portable. But please see the earlier point about brightness for why this isn't always great! Setup: It was speedy and self explanatory, hardest part is logging into all of my existing streaming services on the device as I like to set unique and complex passwords for everything! Case: Nice solid case comes with it! Sound quality: It has a surprisingly good sound quality, very impressed with the range and depth of sound. The woofer handles the content well. Overall, it's the price that really takes the edge off for me. It's a good device, not great though and with it being badged at the high end of the market, I would have expected it to have been perfect. It fell short i'm afraid!
The setup for this unit was effortless and the on screen instructions were clear. The navigation from the remote is a bit clunky and quite frustrating, though I got there in the end. The packaging is pretty but quite impractical as the removal of the unit is a bit like opening a cryptic box. The carry case is impractical as though the projector can sit in it there is no provision for the cable clip (which will in due course get lost) to remain on as the carrier is badly designed so it needs taking off when storing and there is no room for the remote or cables +plug to be contained in the carrier so requiring additional baggage if using it in different locations on a regular basis. The auto correct screen is good one way around and not so good the other it is not ... MoreThe setup for this unit was effortless and the on screen instructions were clear.

The auto correct screen is good one way around and not so good the other it is not clear to me which way around the unit should sit other than being dictated from the screen image. The clarity of the picture is excellent on a white background but not so good on a darker one... Though it is preloaded with various built in apps which can be configured. It appears to me that 3rd party apps can't be added unless I have missed something. It is also very frustrating that there is no port to put my SKY box into or indeed terrestrial Digital TV input Overall I liked the unit but think it a bit pricey considering the things it doesn't have If likely to remain in the same location it is a very good product but if needing to be moved around not so. Though the unit did update a number of times I have also been frustrated by the unit randomly shutting down and rebooting. This has happened a number of times and was replaced for me. I have not had the same issue with the replacement .....yet The cable for the unit is too short in my view 1.5m approx which necessitated me needing an extension lead to set up in some locations. The sound seemed out of sync with some of the programmes I was watching too which took some getting used to. The Samsung app was easy to set up on the mobile and worked effortlessly in fact easier to use than the remote in my opinion. Can't get my head around why there is a need for such an ugly lens cover seems to be too big and rather pointless. The screen definition is excellent though regardless of how big the screen size is made and the ability to project it almost anywhere is quite appealing.
To say I was excited to test this product would be an understatement, envisioning all the ways I can use it, projecting an image onto my bedroom ceiling, summer nights watching films projected onto the side of the house, chucking the projector in my backpack or suitcase and being able to share the experience with others...this product will allow me to do all of those things but doesn't quite live up to the hype in my imagination. Out of the box the design is great. It's really compact and the included cradle stand makes it very versatile. The carry canister is a nice addition to protect the unit when transporting it (remote and power cable will just have to be chucked in the backpack alongside it!). Getting started is really as simple as plug and play. Once powered ...

The carry canister is a nice addition to protect the unit when transporting it (remote and power cable will just have to be chucked in the backpack alongside it!). Getting started is really as simple as plug and play. Once powered up I first tried pointing it at the ceiling and hit the first stumbling block, auto focus could not get a good lock and every couple of seconds would refocus making it unwatchable. Moving it to a more stable surface and giving the lens a quick clean with a glass cloth fixed this though. I tried it in a couple of different scenarios and when it works it's great, but quite often I needed to give it some help to get to that point. Auto focus and auto keystone when they work are a very clever and useful addition, point the projector at a surface and away you go. I did find that I needed to manually tweak the settings to get the picture I wanted when not just pointing directly at a surface. As expected from the spec sheet the projector is best used in a dark room and would be barely watchable in a bright/sunny room. When you manage to dial in all the settings and use it in the right conditions the picture is good from such a compact, versatile unit. The sound in particular is very good and surprised me. The interface is nice and clean, if a bit sluggish and the addition of streaming video apps including Samsung TV Plus is a nice touch, allowing quick and easy access to content. Being able to easily move it from room to room and throw up a large picture on the wall is one of the biggest selling points for this and using it to project a slide show of pictures from a phone worked seamlessly. It may not have lived up to the hype in my mind but I'm still enjoying using it and looking forward to putting it through its paces some more and sharing it with friends and family.
Having had the freestyle for over a week, I have made a point of using it everyday, and I can say I am really impressed. First the unboxing, clearly Samsung are making deliberate attempts to reduce packaging and what packaging they have used seems to be recyclable, with that said it makes the product seal a bit weak. Setting up is a breeze, one power lead and brick and you're good to go. Leave the device to it and the auto focus and keystone is very quick, although if you want certain angels you have to switch to manual to get a truly square image. As with most projectors of this size the real brilliance of the picture is only enjoyed in dark environments, it's not to say you can't see it during the day, just make sure your expectations are realistic.

As with most projectors of this size the real brilliance of the picture is only enjoyed in dark environments, it's not to say you can't see it during the day, just make sure your expectations are realistic. Samsung, as always, have really thought of how you can make this device an "all in one" and this is where it is a bit hit and miss, the built-in speaker is great for sound when you don't have another option, but it wouldn't be something you use as a home or smart speaker as they suggest, there are better options, and I think most people purchasing this would already have a Bluetooth speaker at home. It's the same story with the mood lighting, it's a great "added touch" but I just haven't found a scenario where this would replace your own home smart lighting solution, the projector runs too loud and too hot to feel like this is a good use of electric!. As a projector with built in speaker and only one lead needed with onboard streaming services, along with it being automatically adjusted to the environment makes this a fantastic little projector for fun moments. Movie night with the kids or a sports event with your friends. But it is not a replacement for your TV. So with that in mind, the downsides, the onboard tizen software is either in need of a patch or most likely just underpowered and as such is slow, sluggish and at time 2 or 3 clicks behind, for a modern device is not expected and for a Samsung device it's unforgivable. And it's the price I think Samsung have got wrong, it is without doubt unique and sits as a niche within the projector sector, not requiring a separate screen and autosetup all have real world value, size and brand support also have real world value, however mood lighting, subpar speaker and a slow UI don't warrant adding cost. I'm hoping the proposed accessories bring out it's true versatility. So a fantastic portable power house, a lot on offer, with a tweak it could be perfect
Yup the Freestyle is indeed the next generation of Smart Speakers Why? Well you simply can't compare the Freestyle to other projectors out there (despite it being very good as a projector) simply because it's so much more than just a projector. If a projector is all you're looking for then it wont match up to the competition but you will find yourself shelling out a lot more cash for those. However, if you're looking for a solid, innovative bit of kit with a plethora of uses...this is it! For the price it really is incredible. The best way to describe it is...it's a lightweight, stylish, super portable smart speaker with great sound quality and a100" high quality projector which you can watch the latest Netflix Films on built into one device...which you can even run ...

The best way to describe it is...it's a lightweight, stylish, super portable smart speaker with great sound quality and a100" high quality projector which you can watch the latest Netflix Films on built into one device...which you can even run off a power bank. On top of that you can even project cool animations for parties and that waterproof case is very slick too. The picture is clear and crisp as you'd expect of any Samsung device and the design is pretty smart too...it even comes with a little clip to stop the power cable flapping around. It's very quiet when running and it looks great in a dark room all the way up to that 100" maximum. With a projector screen that picture quality is even more crisp. I would say the controls in the menu are a bit laggy but it more than made up for this with its simple set up. You literally tilt the projector to where you want the picture (on a wall, roof or whatever) and it will position itself perfectly 96% of the time. You can tweak the kerning in the settings if need be when the surface is a bit uneven and that's easy enough to do. The initial setup did take a bit of time but you do only have to do this once. As I got used to it more I found I could even pair multiple speakers or multiple Bluetooth headsets where I wanted to enhance that movie experience or not disturb the neighbours when we had it on outdoors. Overall this is a great piece of kit that any tech enthusiast should pick up today...highly portable and perfect for an impromptu movie night or party feature wherever you may be.
So the Samsung The Freestyle has really impressed me since it arrived and I can confidently say that it is a lot better than I expected or anticipated it would be. As always with Samsung products, the build quality is second to none, the device is light enough to be incredibly portable, but it has a sturdy weight that makes it feel that it is a premium, high quality product. It is very easy to set up, 'plug in and play', and after syncing my Samsung Account, it was all ready to go! The two areas which I was concerned about was a) Picture Quality at larger screen size and b) Picture Brightness at larger screen size; but after extensive use I was amazed with how good it was in terms of Brightness and Picture Quality, even at the 100" screen size, and instantly my ...

It is very easy to set up, 'plug in and play', and after syncing my Samsung Account, it was all ready to go! The two areas which I was concerned about was a) Picture Quality at larger screen size and b) Picture Brightness at larger screen size; but after extensive use I was amazed with how good it was in terms of Brightness and Picture Quality, even at the 100" screen size, and instantly my concerns were gone. The remote control is a handy addition and it works in a very similar way to standard smart TV remotes and a lot of applications came pre installed. Once I was signed into the various apps, I just couldn't stop watching videos and films both on the wall and the ceiling. The fact you can take it anywhere and have a Smart TV/Cinema experience on-the-go is brilliant. The auto focus, keystone and rotation works well so no matter what angle the projector is facing my viewing surface, I have always got a perfectly straight image. It is also easy to do it manually if needed, and to navigate the picture settings is also a seamless process. Using the smart features with 'Samsung Smart Things App' is great so you don't need the packaged remote and can use your phone instead and the 'Tap View' screen sharing has also worked very well allowing easy casting of phone content on a huge screen. The speaker is great considering the size and the other capabilities of The Freestyle and it is provides you with so many options. A smart assistant, a Cinema screen experience, mood lighting, ambient lighting, a second screen for productivity, all of it gives you so many uses and you can take them wherever you go. The included carry case is fantastic, feels and looks durable and will provide great protection for the device when carrying it out and about. All in all this product has far exceeded my expectations and once you start using it, you just don't want to stop and has certainly been the eye catching talking point to others who have seen it! Been super impressed with everything about it! Certainly puts the Style in Freestyle!
I've been looking for the right projector forever, but they were too expensive and required too much faff to make them convenient. The Freestyle is the best combination of everything I've been waiting for. It's small enough to fit anywhere and easy enough that I can take it around with me to a friend's without much hassle and have as simple an experience. I really enjoy the ability to tilt the projector up or down. I've used it for movie night pointed at a wall and watching shows while lying in bed. The only downside is that the projector can slowly start to tilt down meaning you'll sometimes find yourself adjusting it, but it's a minor trade-off for great versatility. The picture is great when blown up but will require a dark room to get the brightness at a decent ...

I really enjoy the ability to tilt the projector up or down. I've used it for movie night pointed at a wall and watching shows while lying in bed. The only downside is that the projector can slowly start to tilt down meaning you'll sometimes find yourself adjusting it, but it's a minor trade-off for great versatility. The picture is great when blown up but will require a dark room to get the brightness at a decent viewing level. I sometimes have the Freestyle off to the side tilting towards the wall at an angle and the projector is great with readjusting automatically but the angle means the edges get blurred (that one is more user error) but it does a great job of still being watched and not noticeable to others. I found the speaker to not work great with some of my own media that was trying to play in 5.1 surround sound and became really quiet. The projector speaker setting "amplify" sorted it out pretty nicely and now I mostly have the volume at about 50% (rather than the 100% it was at before) even with the projector fan going. The built-in smart TV features make it great for being a portable little stand-alone device that I can take anywhere on its own and still have a really great experience. There is a bunch of other little features like the ability to use it as ambient lighting, have happy birthday messages on the wall or create a scenic window that is cool but felt a little gimmicky. I don't think they're features I'll ever use again. The Freestyle nailed everything that I was looking for in a really great, simple projector.
